13 people braved the weather today. With heavy showers forecast, a leaden sky & very squelchy under foot we headed around Cox Tor towards Peter Tavy with a very slippery, muddy descent towards the disused Peter Tavy swimming pool where we celebrated Colin’s birthday with wine & muffins. To our consternation we learnt that the footpath via Godsworthy farm was a quagmire of cow poop so a quick re routing steered us clear of that navigational nightmare. Still a lot of water & mud on the ground after 2 months of rain & storms but we managed to cross the streams though not everyone kept their footing on the downhills. The last stretch was up the flank of Cox Tor where the wind caught us full on & a nicely refreshing rain shower to finish off. The day rounded out nicely with a visit to The Old Police Station in Princetown for mammoth portions of fish & chips.
